PUDLALIK SHAA Born: December 29, 1965 Male E7-1906
Resides: Cape Dorset
Sculpture
Pudlalik's parents, Aqjangajuk and Kilabuk Shaa, are Cape Dorset artists.
Aqjangajuk is a renowned sculptor. Pudlalik's brother Qiatsuq is also a
carver, as was his brother Qavavau, who died in 1991.
He was influenced by his father's work. " I watched him as he carved, he
taught me. I did my first carving when I was twelve years old. It was a small
seal, since then I've been carving, not all the time, but whenever I felt up
to it."
